1. Get ready to share your work of art.
- Make the art show on your computer screen.
- Be ready to share with the other members of the class as they come by to visit your section of our art gallery! Use these points to guide your presentation.
Looking
at Art -
- What is the title of the work? How does the title help you to understand the message? What is the message?
- What is the most obvious image in the work. To where is your eye drawn?
- Look at the colors. Are they symbolic? Would the message be different if the colors were different? Explain.
- Study the shading and shadowing. How do these elements impact the overall message?
- Who is the artist? When was the work created? Is the artist's message about a specific event? What was going on in the world when the work was created? Is the art universal - speaks to people of all times and in all places in all places, or is it limited to the audience for whom it was created?
- How does the work relate to the 20th and 21st centuries?

Poem by Sarah Teisdale
"There
will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And
swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And
frogs in the pools singing at night,
And
wild plum trees in tremulous white;
Robins
will wear their feathery fire,
Whistling
their whims on a low fence-wire;
And
not one will know of the war, not one
Will
care at last when it is done.
Not
one would mind, neither bird nor tree,
if
mankind perished utterly;
And
Spring herself, when she woke at dawn
Would
scarcely know that we were gone."
Will nature care if humanity ceases to exist?
Written - please follow along as you listen. We will stop to discuss.
3. Looking at a correctly documented essay- follow along . . .
Here are some additional sites that will help you to document your own essay.
Homework: Explore a free citation site. Put in three sources. See if you can get to a perfectly documented MLA 8 Works Cited page! Post your document in CANVAS and write a three to five sentence review of the source. Share what you liked and did not like about the site.
Here are a few to consider. You only need to try and evaluate ONE!
